Piezosurgery is a relatively new surgical technique for Periodontology and Implantology that can be used to complement traditional oral surgical procedures and in some cases, replace traditional procedures.The Piezosurgery allows for precise removal of bone with minimal risk of injury to underlying soft tissues. It allows a more successful and more complication-free surgical result for a less experienced surgeon that could be especially beneficial for preparation of the Schneider membrane during sinus lift procedure or relocating or preparation of the inferior alveolar nerve. Not only does it give minimal operative invasion, but also it decreases post-intervention, intervention pain and reduces traumatic stress, accompanied with minimal bleeding postoperatively.
